Limit on penile implant replacements?

Postby Benjohn » Tue Mar 16, 2021 3:00 pm

Does anyone know if there is a limit to the amount of times a patient can have penile implants replaced in a lifetime? I have currently been prescribed Invicorp and this seems to work well, but I worry about what the future holds if I require penile implants too early. Any advice greatly appreciated.

I'm fairly certain that I've read posts by a guy that has had 7 revisions or new implants. Currently there is a guy on the implant section waiting for his fourth one. Remember, not all revisions included a complete remove & replace.
I suggest that you research the NHS to see if they have an artificial limit on implants.

Sure, I'll take a look at NHS options. Already keeping some money back for the prospect of private treatment if required in the future. Thanks
